ONE TO ONE TRAINING
Does your dog pull on the lead making walks a real chore ? Does your dog run off to any distraction and doesn't come back when called? Does your dog jump up at visitors and everyone they see ?
​
If your answer is yes to any of the above, our one to one training service is here to help !
One to One Training
Who is this training for?
Do you want to enjoy walks with your dog? If you are struggling with your dog (aged 5 months+) pulling on the lead, not coming back when called, not being able to sit or stay or jumping up, this is for you!
It's also perfect for busy owners who can't fit in regular weekly training classes, or dogs who cannot cope in class environments​​​​​
​
​
My dog shows anxious or aggressive behaviour - can I book 1:1 Training?
This service is NOT for dogs showing dog to dog reactivity, aggression, resource guarding or anxiety/stress, as these are complex issues which require more support and would instead need our Behaviour Consultation Service
​​​
​
What will One to One Training achieve?
The trainer will help you identify how your dog learns best, what motivates them, how to generalise training techniques to real life situations and continue to build upon essential life skills, so that both you and your dog feel happier and calmer in day to day life
Is support available between sessions?
You can contact your trainer via email or WhatsApp between sessions if you need additional guidance and support
What else do I need to know?
Where does it take place?
The sessions take place at our APDS Training & Behaviour Centre, near Leominster & Hereford
If getting to the Training & Behaviour Centre is difficult for you, please get in touch with us, as one of the team may be able to you (travel charges will apply)
​
​
What is the cost?
Single sessions are £67.50 with discounts available for packages
Package prices are available when booking multiple sessions.
Each session offers 60 minutes with an APDS Trainer at our dedicated Training Centre​
​
What availability is there?
Availability will depend on our trainer's diary, but we try to be as flexible as possible so if you can't find a date to suit you, please get in touch with us so we can find a way to help you.
​
How many sessions should I book?
Most training issues will require multiple sessions, learning new skills takes time. You are welcome to just book the initial session, and the trainer can discuss the number of sessions and what the best spacing/timing for the next session, as it can vary from dog to dog, depending on their needs. It is also a good idea to leave a little space between sessions to allow time to practise and implement the learnings and training.
​
Can I cancel my sessions?
